Jim Spellman/WireImage(NEW YORK) -- Live with Kelly and Michael! co-host Kelly Ripa has admitted that her bubbly, perky appearance of being wide-awake every morning doesn't come from coffee, but from Botox injections.

The 42-year-old confessed to Elle magazine, "It's the Botox."

Ripa noted, "Every seven months or so, my eyelid skin rests on my eyelashes. So I feel like it makes my makeup artist's life easier, and it makes my eyes look a little more open on TV, which is where I happen to work right now."

She also said that she occasionally gets injections in her armpits to prevent her from sweating.
